Here is a message from Peter Unmack:

G'day folks

This years DSAC trip to Ash Meadows will be a bit different as it will be
combined with the annual national NANFA convention. As a result several
things will be different. I urge each of you to look at the convention
webpage to get familiar with the details.

http://www.nanfa.org/convention/2010.shtml

The big difference is the dates will be a little different, activities in
Ash Meadows will mostly be conducted on Thur and Fri. Sat we will have
talks over the Death Valley NP headquarters (the list of speakers is on
the webpage). Sunday lunch time I will lead a tour away from Ash Meadows
to visit a number of habitats by and north of Las Vegas for 2.5 days. Our
activities within Ash Meadows will be similar to before, although there
are some minor changes that I'll probably make.

I don't really know how many folks are likely to attend, but it could be
anything from 25 to maybe 40, but it could be more too.

One downside that comes with this being a convention is that there is a
registration fee. NANFA will be providing most of the meals (breakfast,
lunch up to Sunday breakfast and a bbq style dinner Friday night). We
will also be having a day of presentations from various biologists on
southwestern fishes.

In terms of food we are thinking of having two lunches in the form of
military style ready to eat meals and another one with sandwich fixings.
For breakfast there will be stuff ranging from cereal, toast, eggs,
probably bacon, pancakes, waffles.

We will still be able to camp at the refuge headquarters. I have also
booked a group of rooms at Longstreet with a discount rate. The number
you have to quote to get that rate is listed on the convention webpage. I
would book as early as possible if you plan to stay there.
